Arms transfers cover the supply of military weapons through sales, aid, gifts, and those made through manufacturing licences. The data cover major conventional weapons such as aircraft, armoured vehicles, artillery, radar systems, missiles, and ships designed for military use. Transfers of other military equipment, such as small arms and light weapons, trucks, light artillery, ammunition and support equipment, technology transfers, and other services are excluded.
